Question:

Choose the option that means 'according to law, by right'.

(A) deja vu
(B) de facto
(C) de jure
(D) de tour
(E) de novo

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(A) and (B) Only

(B) Only

(C) and (D) Only

(C) Only

Correct Answer:

(C) Only

Explanation:

The correct answer is OPTION 4 - (C) Only.

The phrase de jure means "according to law, by right." It is used to contrast with the phrase de facto, which means "in fact, actually."

The other options are incorrect:

  • deja vu means "a feeling of having already experienced or seen something."
  • de facto means "in fact, actually."
  • de tour means "a roundabout way."
  • de novo means "from the beginning, afresh."

Therefore, the only option that means "according to law, by right" is de jure.
